Ахат

Pronounced "Ahat" it's a Bulgarian heavy metal band, and it's ****ing awesome. I love it. Power riffs, great lyrics, SUPERB vocals....oh man. Any Bulgarians on TWC?

Also, my priest was a member of Ahat, coincedentally. He was just driving my brother and I home from church, and he turns on his CD, and says, this is my band. Apparently the name is an acronym for the their names. He was the drummer. Of course he could be lying, but why? I could have just misunderstood him, the music was playing so loud.....

Anyway, they're really good. Check them out

hi murderer of bulgarians i'm from this country and used to listen to this kind of bulgarian bands when i was younger. have you heard of other old bulgarian bands like Epizod and such? some of them make verry good combination of metal with lyrics from bulgarian renaisance authors, not bad at all

Your priest was a member of a Heavy metal band???
Is this band some sort of Christian metal band? Like Stryper?



^^^The pinnacle of Christian metal


Sorry, off topic. What sort of metal are this band? traditional type stuff, or death metal type stuff?

I guess so ........I mean he was originally a very good musician. He drums and sings. He only became a priest when his father, while on his deathbed, asked him to become one.

Yeah, and he told me that they were really influenced by Deep Purple. I don't listen to Deep Purple, so I wouldn't know

Kara: My name bears no inclination to my personal massacring of Bulgarians.....
Anyway, no, I haven't heard any other Bulgarian bands, the first time I actually heard bulgarian music was when we were driving in the car and he put in Ахат. He also put in some other bands, BTR and.......Kafe I think it was called.


By the way, do you know what Ахат stands for? He told me, but I forgot.

traditional heavy metal http://themarch.hit.bg/4.jpg bare in mind that they started at the end of the 80-ies when we were still a communist country and the western influence was slow
couldn't find Axat's music free, but here is another band with some free songs http://www.epizod.com/Eng/Epizod/index.html

well i'm not much of a fan of bulgarian rock and metal, i prefer certain armenian group BTR isn't exactly metal band, more of a hard rock. kafe is rock and some new wave i think, have some nice songs. frankly i have no idea what Axat stands for. there is a bulgarian internet rock radio www.radiotangra.com and i think its possible to listen to it in USA too. they play bulgarian music too so you can check it out.
